4 Runner Update

We received an email from Toyota of Greenville last Thursday with a quote on a 4 Runner that we thought was fair so we made a deal and put down our deposit (since they would have to trade to get the 4 Runner for us). The 4 Runner was on Greenville's "sister" lot so they expected we should be able to get it by the weekend. We were excited and happy about finally finding the "perfect" 4 Runner with all the options we wanted and none that we didn't want. This was especially good since there are only 9 black 4 Runners in the southeast with 4 wheel drive (and this includes those still in transport from Japan) so we were thrilled to actually be getting one. Since we go on skiing trips 4 wheel drive is an important option to us.....much more important than having blue tooth on an upgraded radio for example.

So.....we received a call on Friday afternoon to let us know that Greenville could not get us our 4 Runner from their sister lot because Greenville only had 2 wheel drive 4 Runners and their sister lot wouldn't accept a trade for a 2 wheel drive in exchange for a 4 wheel drive! This seems to be a problem with other lots also, and since all the 4 wheel drive 4 Runners are on lots out of state we decided to expand our search to other SUVs. We are disappointed, but realize that everything happens for a reason.

We've been looking into Honda Pilots and plan to go check them out this afternoon!
